The high tension between Israel and the Gaza Strip has turned into a real war. This morning a surprise attack by Hamas militiamen against Israel began. The head of the military wing, Mohammad Deif, announced the “Flood al-Aqsa” operation. What is the reason that triggers yet another terrible conflict? The objective is to “put an end to the crimes” of Israel. Militants from the Strip entered Israeli territory, while missiles were fired at cities in a combined operation. The Israeli army is “ready for war”: the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced. Reservists were called up and demonstrations cancelled. Meanwhile, the rest of the world follows the latest updates with bated breath.
“The Italian government is closely following the brutal attack taking place in Israel. It condemns in the strongest terms the ongoing terror and violence against innocent civilians. Terror will never prevail. We support Israel’s right to defend itself,” it reads. in a note from Chigi Palace. The comment also arrived soon from the Minister of Education and Merit Giuseppe Valditara who, in Israel, is a bastion of democracy and freedom. True anti-fascists know who they are with and condemn this brutal aggression.”
